BATON ROUGE – Ji-Chai Lin, Lloyd F. Collette Endowed Chair in Financial Services and C. C. “Cliff” Cameron Professor in the LSU Department of Finance, coauthored an article that the Journal of Financial Markets recently accepted for publication. The article, “Price Delay Premium and Liquidity Risk,” was coauthored with Ping-Wen Sun, a postdoctoral researcher at LSU, Ajai Singh from Lehigh University and Wen Yu from University of St. Thomas.

According to the paper’s abstract, the findings suggest that price delay premium is not due to inadequate risk sharing, but due to systematic liquidity risk. The paper focuses on the fact that firms with greater price delay have more difficulty attracting traders and their investors face higher liquidity risk, which accounts for their anomalous returns.

Lin joined LSU’s faculty in 1988, the same year he earned his Ph.D. in finance from the University of Iowa. His research interests include investments, market microstructure and investor behavior.
